I comment on “If Jesus was a physician” rather then whether he was a jogger (that would represent a safe controversy).
Well, Jesus was a healer, and an alternative practitioner at that. He would be hounded, outlawed and, yes, crucified for claiming that he saved Lazzaro and cured a man afflicted by plague. He (or his disciples) would be accused of false advertising claiming that he was god because today we know (or should know) that it was actually a Roman habit to deify living people and it had no substance in reality. Coming to think of it, crucifiction was also a Roman type of punishment which is now condemned in its literal form but still practiced as a figure of speech. Amen.

I, too, usually ask myself “If Jesus was a physicians…, what accounts for the reason He didn’t teach how He saved Lazzaro or how cured the diseased man involved by plague? I think, that beeng God, He knew perfectly humans…However, at his time, there were not Editors and peer-reviewers.
